(Above + Below)Snails, stills from videotape, 6 min, 1997.
These images
are stills from a video that was made during the installation Human
Hubris in Schrattenberg, Austria, in 1997.
For nearly 3 weeks during
the installation, snails made their paths on a large Plexiglas window, with
each snail spending no more than 24 hours on it. I marked on a map the places
where I found the snails, numbered their shells, marked the beginning points of
their journeys on the Plexiglas and the points they reached after 1 day's
effort. I then made their paths visible with dust and put them back in the
places I had found them.
